Modifiable transferable insertable hair and skin protective baseball Cap Liner

ABSTRACT

A modifiable transferrable insert-able hair and skin protection baseball cap liner is an apparatus in which the device can be inserted into any standard baseball cap undetected by others, to protect the hair and skin of the user when wearing. The invention can be manufactured by the method of sewing. A crown is formed from a non-woven fabric. A structural felt fabric is attached to the underside of the front formed crown and is sandwiched between the non-woven fabric in the underside of the crown, and the skin and hair protecting satin fabric. The felt fabric lines the lower inner portion of the invention to the rear of the apparatus for structural support on both sides of the invention. A parallel, sewn in grid on the lower left and right side of the invention allows the user to modify the device by cutting the selected grid lines to accommodate various type of baseball caps. The invention demonstrates the ability to have ventilations holes sewn into the upper crown nonwoven fabric to allow air flow between the baseball cap and the users head. The rear portion of the baseball cap insert is formed to accommodate a fitted baseball cap as well as an open back baseball cap.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to devices for protecting the hair and skin of the user, while the device exhibit the ability to be modifiable as well as transferrable from one hat to another. The invention display the ability to be modified to accommodate various types of manufactured baseball caps, as well as provide a means of ventilation by embroidered holes for comfort and open rear formed to allow the wearer to hide the device from others views.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In an effort to address the need for an individual to utilize a transferrable, modifiable device to protect hair and skin while wearing different baseball caps, where hair doesn't lose essential oils, get tangled, or becomes susceptible to breakage, where the skin of the user is exposed to fabrics in a baseball cap that holds oils and sweat that clog skin pores, a number of apparatus have been developed. These inventions mainly focus on the ability to cover the hair of a user while sleeping, but not the head of an active user while awake. Other hat insert inventions focus on maintaining a baseball caps structure, protecting the head from abrasions, or demonstrating hair protecting fabrics affixed and sewn to the inner side of a baseball cap or hat.

U.S. Pat No. 4,964,175 describes a hair protecting device worn to protect the hair of a user while sleeping. This invention does not address a transferrable means of protecting ones hair while awake and active such as while exercising activity. The modifiable transferrable insert-able hair and skin protective baseball cap liner has the ability to be worn by the user, when awake, demonstrating an ability to be modified to accommodate baseball hats that have the upper crown panel sewn to the side inner sweat band portion of the hat during the manufacturing process.

U.S. Pat No. 8,857,676 describes a hat insert specifically designed to maintain the original manufactured hat structure. while the hat insert device can be transferred to another baseball hat, The hat insert device does not address the ability to cover and protect the whole head of the users hair, nor assist in the ability to protect skin from oils or loss of moisture.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an modifiable, transferrable wearable apparatus for protecting hair and skin. The maintenance of hair is an important aspect in people's lives today. The hair of certain ethnic groups such as African-Americans, require various types of methods and techniques for daily hair up-keep. Tightly coarse hair, and curled hair can get entangled, and break off while wearing hats. Most baseball hats are made from cotton, which absorb moisture. Wearing of hats can also effect a person's hair by drying the hair of its essential oils, cause friction in which the hair begins to break off, and dry the skin, closest to the cotton fabric.

The invention allows for the user to be able to utilize their current hat by inserting the device inside the cap made of fabrics that will allow less friction of the hair, using non moisture absorbing fabrics, and reduce entanglements if the user is in an active state. The materials used are a natural fabric such as silk or a manufactured fabric, satin.

The Preferred embodiment of the present invention is lightweight, small and compact in nature with a crown formed from non-woven fabrics. A felt fabric frame is affixed to the underside of the crown to assist in the structure of the apparatus, running from the front portion of the crown along the lower portion of the device to the rear back crescent moon shaped opening.

The inventions felt fabric structure portion of the apparatus is sandwiched in between the underside of the upper non woven fabric crown material and the hair protecting fabric sewn to the underside of the full crown.

The inventions rear portion of the apparatuses left and right sides are outfitted with a sewn in grid of lines for the purpose of having the ability to be modified by cutting a small portion of the grid to accommodate a hat where the rear side sewn panel and sweat band are attached.

The invention rear portion of the apparatus is formed to accommodate and open back baseball cap, undetected by non users. The upper outer portion of the non-woven fabric, is manufactured to demonstrate multiple embroidered ventilation holes for comfort of the user when wearing.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be appreciated. There are additional feature of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
